Should you apply for BDA site in Kempegowda (KG) Layout? – My Opinion

• BDA reserves the right to allot sites. Kindly note that this is not a BDA e-Auction . The allotment is based on various factors like seniority, number of previous attempts (number of times an applicant has tried to obtain a BDA site) , no of years domiciled in Karnataka etc., So, the basis of allotment is purely subjective. I do not think even lucky draw is conducted. So, looks like the allotment may or may not happen in a transparent way. This is my personal opinion.
• As per my knowledge, the average market price in and around Kemepegowda Layout is between Rs 2,000 to Rs 2,500 per sq feet. The BDA sites have also been priced in the same way. It’s been a long time since BDA has come up with new Layout in Bengaluru. So, the demand for these BDA plots can be high. So, let’s monitor the demand for these BDA residential sites.
• Check if there are any conditions applicable on ‘Re-sale’ of sites after the allotment is done. Generally, BDA does not allow immediate re-sale of its sites. So, check with BDA about this condition.
• Getting a Home Loan sanctioned for a BDA site can be easy (subject to your eligibility) .

Kindly keep the above points in mind before applying for a site in Kempegowda Layout.
